National Wreath Day Ceremony to Take Place December 13

The Gerald B. H. Solomon Saratoga National Cemetery announces National Wreaths Across America Day, Saturday, December 13th. Wreath placement to take place at 11:00 am followed at 12:00 pm, Noon with the National Wreath Day Ceremony. 

For the past nine years every Veteran interred at Saratoga National Cemetery has been honored. The need this year is 17,000 wreaths…there is still time to help us meet our goal! Wreaths may be sponsored for $17 each through December 1st. Log onto www.wreathsacrossamerica.org. Scroll down to specific location and type Gerald B. H Solomon Saratoga National Cemetery. Follow the screen to fundraising groups to sponsor a wreath.

This is the largest event held annually at SNC, so plan accordingly for heavy traffic. A general parking area will be open, only handicap parking to be allowed on cemetery roads. Follow signs and cemetery staff directions for parking. Reminder sleds and poles are not allowed; these are reserved for wreath retirement in March.

Registration for wreath laying is not required, volunteers are asked to go directly to the section they wish to help in. 

There is no rush to lay your given wreaths… Take your time, teach your children. Honor our Veterans by saying their name out loud so they are remembered at this time of year. Many no longer have a visitor able to come, you are their visitor, and we thank you for that! 

Remember…Honor…Teach.
